This Mini Course is great for dogs of all activity levels, who learn best in a one-on-one setting! Scent Work, also called Nose Work, is a sport where we teach your dog to locate a toy, treat or odor. Your dog will learn to sniff out and indicate a specific scent that has been hidden. This game is great for rainy days and sunny days alike! Being highly motivated by food will help in this training game! You can choose what your dog will be finding. Either pick an odor in the form of an essential oil (found at Whole Foods or other natural foods stores) or a unique toy. For the odor, choose one that is not otherwise in your home, for example, lavender is rather common, so pick something like anise, frankincense, or clove.

Each session will include lecture time, demos, practice time for you to train your dog while we provide feedback, and time for questions throughout as well.
